tap-taps

Realized I made a reference to tap-taps and many people don't know what I'm talking about. A tap-tap is one of those smaller trucks (e.g. the original Toyota truck size) with a camper shell on it, and a wood plank on the sides for seats. You pack it full of people, and then drive rather erratically down very poor roads. I have video of it, there's really no describing it that does it justice.
